You have just found your make up artist!

If you are reading this look no further then Juliet Cunnington - Bridal Makeup Artist!
I am just so delighted to have found her!

Contemplating on having your make up professionally done for your wedding day? My advice is to stop and just go for it!
You (and your bridal party) deserve it!

I can be quite a shy person at times however Juliet made me feel so comfortable throughout my trial that we talked as if we'd known eachother forever!

Throughout the planning, she remained so approachable and knowledgeable in which she created such a sense of ease, maintaining a professional approach throughout and embedding security and trust (exactly what us brides need!)

She told me she is a perfectionist when it comes to colour matching, one could say it's a brave statement but she certainly delivered!
Colour matching perfectly on the girls who hadn't had previous trials and also myself who had tanned for the big day, so despite our trial, she had the ability to adapt to my change in skin tone effortlessly and just got everything so spot on!

Juliet was well organised, efficient and timely on the wedding day, she excelled in her abilities to create high quality make up unique to each of our preferences that left us looking beautiful, feeling glamourous and confident all day!

Our make up stayed on all day (in fact, into the next too!) so there was absolutely no need to worry about any touch ups and we remained photo ready all day!

Brilliant make-up artist for wedding

From the moment I contacted Juliet on Hitched to the morning of the wedding, she was fantastic!
She asked each person their usual make-up style and put everyone at ease. She made you feel so comfortable and nothing was too much trouble.
All the guests commented on how amazing and natural the make-up looked and I’m so pleased with how it looked on camera.
I can’t thank Juliet enough for everything ❤️

Perfect make up for a special occasion

From the moment I received a reply back from Juliet I knew she was the one to do my make up, for my daughter's wedding. She had already been highly recommended. I went round to her studio for a make up practice as I've never had my make up professionally done before. .I instantly felt calm as soon as she open the door, Juliet is the most friendly, full of so much Make up information experience.. Juliet asked what I would like, she recommended and explained everything before and after applying the make up. I loved every minute of being there I felt so relaxed and amazing afterwards. When it come to the day, my make up was perfect if not better than the practice. We had a chat she made me feel so beautiful. I had loads of compliments on how nice my make up was so thank you so much.

Highly Recommend!

Juliet did my wedding makeup in December 2025 at South Farm, and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the morning. She was calm, friendly, and really good company for me, my bridesmaids, and my mum while we were getting ready. I wouldn’t have been able to do my own makeup, and she took the time to get everything just right, creating a natural, polished look that suited me.
She also did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids and my mum. My mum has never had her makeup professionally done before, and Juliet made her feel very special, which meant a lot. I really appreciated how professional and attentive she was while still keeping the morning relaxed and enjoyable. Having her there made the whole getting ready part of the day feel easy and stress free, and I’m very glad she was part of it.

Fantastic!

Juliet was fantastic, she looked after me and my bridesmaids really well and had some fun in the morning getting ready.

My sister who was a bridesmaid suffers badly with severe allergies and eczema And has never worn a full face of makeup up in her life but wanted to try for my wedding. I spoke to Juliet about this from the start and was fillled with confidence, we did a trial with myself and my sister and Juliet worked with my sister to trial products to see what worked with her skin. I have never seen my sister so shocked with the results. She didn’t have any issues after the trial and so gave her confidence going into the wedding day. She’s even using some of the products now.

I still looked like me all the products were light and I didn’t feel like I had any make up on at all so felt comfortable all day

Thank you for everything Juliet I can’t recommend enough.

Perfect wedding day make up!

Juliet went above and beyond on the morning of my wedding. Myself, Mum and 3 bridesmaids all looked and felt amazing, and Juliet was a calming face in a chaotic room!! Juliet is such a warm and professional make up artist, and so talented, that I would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone else’s wedding or special occasion.

Flawless wedding makeup by the incredible Juliet

Juliet was my makeup artist on my wedding day, and I couldn’t have chosen anyone better. Having worked with her twice before, I knew she was the one — her knowledge of all ages of skin and the science behind the products meant our makeup looked flawless both in person and in photos.
My mum, who’d never had her makeup done before and was really nervous, ended up looking and feeling the most beautiful she ever has. Despite the hot weather, my makeup didn’t budge all day!
Thank you so much, Juliet — you’re truly amazing at what you do. 💖

Lovely natural makeup

I chose Juliet as my wedding make-up artist because, as a bride in my 50’s, I wanted someone who could work with more mature skin and give me a natural look that would last the whole day.

Communication with Juliet was easy and she was very responsive to emails and messages giving me confidence that I wouldn’t be let down.

On the day, she arrived on time and got to work… first on my daughter, then me, and then my Mum. We all enjoyed the experience and Juliet’s chatty style which helped settle nerves. My Mum has physical challenges and was quite nervous but very quickly settled and loved the result.

I would thoroughly recommend Juliet for wedding make-up. I felt beautiful all day! Thank you xx

The best I've ever looked

Juliet did my makeup for my wedding, along with 6 bridesmaids and my Mum and she did an incredible job. She knew we all wanted a more soft, natural look and she absolutely nailed it. I felt so confident and happy throughout the whole day. It's also worth noting that Juliet has a great way about her and makes everyone feel at ease, we had such fun in the morning on the lead up to the ceremony. I will always recommend Juliet for makeup, I can't thank her enough.

Anniversary party makeup

Juliet was great, me and my mum and 2 sisters had our makeup done by Juliet for a wedding anniversary party and she was very professional but very friendly and chatty which we loved, we were all very happy with our makeup, she even added some glitter to my daughter's eyes which she loved being able to get involved

Amazing bridal makeup artist

Juliet was absolutely professional from the start. She invited us to have a trial earlier in the year and liaised with me prior to the wedding day, checking on arrangements. She arrived precisely when she said she would and quickly got to work!

We were a group of four made up of the mother of the groom, a bridesmaid, an aunt and good family friend. She immediately made us all feel relaxed and really engaged with us regarding our preferred colours and style of make up.

She was versatile in terms of her approach - she worked confidently with the younger member of our group and those of us who were a bit more ‘mature’. That was important for me, as many MUAs seem to have one distinct style and I could see from reviewing Juliet’s work that it wasn’t the case with her! She understood what each of us wanted in terms of the look, she adapted the style and colours, making sure we got a wonderful experience and a stunning look that we loved.

Thank you Juliet! You made us all feel extremely glamorous on such a special day!
